    4 years after electing a Community Organizer, with zero economic experience and not a shred of business experience, who never ran so much as a lemonade stand much less a candy store.......was anyone expecting anything else?

    Pretty dismal. That being said, growth is even worse over here in Europe.

    I'm pretty sure it's all Bush's fault. At least that's what I've been told over and over.

    I know a Presidential election prediction model that calculates that based on 1.3% growth in the second quarter Obama will get just over 50.4% of the popular vote. That looks like good news for Barack until you remember Al Gore had almost exactly the same share of the popular vote in 2000 and he lost to Dubya by a few hanging chads. Election night could be a real nail-biter!

    Well, not every European country is the same of course. But on the whole economic dynamism is really bad in Europe right now. I was talking with some business leaders yesterday and they see more and more young high potentials pack up and leave Europe.

    You've got some way to go. But then again: didn't Obama give himself an "incomplete"?

    Europe is Europe and the US is the US. Comparisons are not really fruitful. But Obama's record should be measured by US standards. And by those standards the so-called "economic recovery" is a failure.

    Yes, I guess passing such crucial laws like 37 Obamacare repeals and 20 reassurances of official motto "In God We Trust" didn't do much for economy... So shocking!

    You mean a Community Organizer who never ran so much as a lemonade stand......wasnt the economic guru you were expecting?

    Shocking indeed....

    If only Obama could pass a PORKULUS, reform Health Care, and add 6 Trillion to our (D)ebt.....then the economy would be booming!

    Yaaaaaawn. Of course the economy is a disaster and getting worse under Obama's 'reign'. The real story here is the FACT that every time an indicator comes out the LIBs ALWAYS 'up' the number or 'down' the number.......whatever makes Obama look better and EVERY TIME when the actual 'adjusted' number comes out later that number ALWAYS is worse than the LIBs had claimed. It happens EVERY SINGLE TIME! I can't see how the LIBs on MSNBS and the White house Obama 'Jonestown' followers have the gall to show their faces in pubic.

    Yea, makes sense. I mean, why would anyone want a chief executive in the WH who's actually an experienced executive. That's just crazy. We're so much better off with a former community organizer who's priorities are more in-line with OWS, Bill Maher and the ladies on The View.

    He wants a country that is socialist based and bankrupt. He wants a country where millions of people are totally dependent on the Government for their survival. He wants Greece/ Spain/Portugal/Ireland etc. He wants millions of young men to spend the most productive years of their lives accomplishing SFA. He's a 'Jonestowner'.
    Should the 'Jonestowners' and the 'OJ jury' reelect Obama he's going to get his wish. Just one small detail: That would also mean literally TRILLIONS! of US dollars would be moved out of the US to 'more friendly environs' like Canada/Germany/Hong Kong. The flood of cash already quietly leaving the country now will become a Tsunami. You can take that to your local bank.
